The new leaders, Mere Brow A, edged ever closer to their fourth consecutive title when beating Waddington Cons A 5-1, the third time in a row they’d recorded this score.

Tarleton BC A, now three points behind, could only manage a 4-2 victory over third placed Banks A and must be kicking themselves that they didn’t calim all six points.

Fleetwood Hesketh A moved back into third spot in the league after completing a 5-1 win over the now basement club Les Dodd’s B team.

Birkdale Cons A came out on top in the battle of Con Clubs last week when they left Churchtown Cons A 5-1 winners, making the bottom of the table very hard reading for all involved.

Second Division

Banks C may have brought up their 13th win of the season but there is no danger of it being unlucky for this team as the march on to an inevitable Second Division title, last achieved in the 2010-11 season.

But who will join them as Bretherton A, Southport Cons A and the S&amp;B cricket club are separated by just the one point.

Bretherton have a free week against them but it is all very much to play for with just the four weeks left of the 2015-16 season.

Third Division

The top two in the division, Les Dodd’s C and Churchtown Cons D are separated by just the one point at the moment after Doddy’s beat Southport Cons B 4-2 and Churchtown winning 5-1 against Fleetwood Hesketh B.

All things point to that clash between the two teams on March 16, the very last match of the season, to see who will be crowned Third Division champions 2015-16.
